Christus loquens sponse dicit ei modum, per quem debeat fieri pax inter reges Francie et Anglie. Quod si ipsi reges non obedierint, grauissime punientur.
The Call to Royal Peace
Christ declares His authority and offers the kings of France and England the gift of lasting peace.
The Son says, "I am a King to be feared and honored." Therefore, because of my Mother's prayers, I'll send my words to them. I am true peace, and where peace is, I am certainly there. If, therefore, these two kings of France and England want to have peace, I will give them lasting peace.
Conditions for a Righteous Kingdom
Christ outlines the requirements for peace, including justice, unity in faith, and care for the souls of subjects.
But true peace cannot be had unless truth and justice are cherished. Therefore, because one of the kings has justice on his side, I’m pleased that peace should be made through marriage, and in this way the kingdom will be able to pass to the rightful heir. Second, I want them to be of one heart and one soul in advancing the holy Christian faith, wherever it can be done most effectively for my honor. Third, they must put an end to their intolerable exactions and fraudulent schemes, and they must love the souls of their subjects.
The Consequences of Obedience and Pride
A warning of ruin for those who reject divine instruction, contrasted with the promise of support for those who obey.
If, however, the king currently in power refuses to obey, he should know for certain that he won't prosper in his actions, but will end his life in sorrow and lose his kingdom in the midst of trouble. Both his son and his descendants will live in anger, disgrace, and confusion, so that everyone will be amazed. But if the king who holds the right is willing to obey, I will help him and fight on his behalf. If, however, he doesn't obey, he won't reach his goal; he'll be stripped of what he's gained, and a painful end will overshadow his joyful beginning.
The Promise of Humility
The restoration of the kingdom is tied to the cultivation of true humility among the people.
However, when the people of the kingdom of France embrace true humility, the kingdom will reach its rightful heir and find lasting peace.
Read the original Latin
Filius loquitur: "Ego sum rex metuendus et honorandus. Ideo propter preces Matris mee mittam eis verba mea. Ego sum pax vera, et ubi pax est, ibi pro certo ego sum. Si igitur isti duo reges Francie et Anglie habere voluerint pacem, ego dabo eis perpetuam pacem.
Sed pax vera haberi non poterit, nisi veritas et iusticia diligantur. Ideo, quia alter regum habet iusticiam, placet michi, quod per matrimonium fiat pax et sic regnum ad legittimum heredem poterit peruenire.
Secundo volo, quod sint cor unum et anima una in augendo fidem sanctam Christianam, ubi commodius fieri poterit ad honorem meum. Tercio deponant intolerabiles exacciones et fraudulentas adinuenciones suas et diligant animas subditorum suorum.
Si autem ille rex qui nunc tenet regnum obedire noluerit, sciat pro certissimo, quod non prosperabitur in factis suis sed in dolore finiet vitam et regnum dimittet in tribulacionibus. Et filius et generacio sua erit in ira et obprobrio et confusione ita, quod omnes admirabuntur.
Si autem rex ille, qui iusticiam habet obedire voluerit, adiuuabo eum et pugnabo pro eo. Si vero non obedierit, nec ipse perueniet ad desiderium suum sed priuabitur obtentis, et principium gaudiosum dolorosus exitus obscurabit.
Verumptamen, quando homines regni Francie assumpserint veram humilitatem, regnum perueniet ad legittimum heredem et bonam pacem."
